🗣️ Rooney: “It's crazy, but if you talk to 12-year-olds about Cristiano Ronaldo, they'll immediately say, 'Yes, he was a brilliant Manchester United player'. But if you say 'Ji-Sung Park ", they may not know who he is. Yet all of us who have played with Park know that he was almost as important to our success.
Players like me, Ronaldo, and Tévez made headlines but Fletcher and Park were as important as us, even more. I remember Ferguson's chat before the game against AC Milan. He literally told Park: "Your job today is not to touch the ball, it's not about making passes, your job is Pirlo. That's it: Pirlo!".
At the time, Andrea Pirlo was averaging 110 passes per game, something crazy like that, and of those, about 60-70 were forward passes, passes that could hurt you. He had this trick: when the ball came to him from the side, he played it immediately above the head of your central defender, so that Shevchenko or Kaka leave. Pirlo was the best I've seen on that pass.
So Fergie said to Park: "He can't have the right to that pass. You can't be a meter or a second behind. And I think Pirlo barely made 40 passes in that game, and 95% were behind because Park had fully complied with what Ferguson had asked for. What Park was able to do that night was so impressive."
Even Pirlo confirmed in his autobiography that he was impressed by Park:
"In Milan, Ferguson put Park Ji-Sung on me. He wouldn't let go. He was throwing himself at me. They programmed him to stop me. His sacrifice was almost touching. Even though he was a recognized player, he agreed to be used as a watchdog".
@SuellaBraverman You are the very worst of the worst, utterly undeserving of the position you hold. You decry everything that has been good in this country during my lifetime, seeking to cause division at every turn. I am ashamed of you and the govt in which you self-serve.
